Will ‘The Walking Dead: Dead City’ Return for Season 2?

Lauren Cohan as Maggie Rhee and Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Negan in a scene from AMC's 'The Walking Dead: Dead City.' Maggie is a white woman with chin-length brown hair holding a knife to Negan's throat in her black fingerless gloves, wearing a denim jacket. Negan is a white man with dark hair and a salt-and-pepper 5 o'clock shadow wearing several layers of shirts under a black jacket. He's holding his arms out with smirk on his face accepting that a knife to his throat is how it's gonna be now. They're standing outside with grass and trees in the background.

Will we return to The Walking Dead's version of New York? Or will we just be left with that cliffhanger ending?
